The Hampshire Advertiser from Southampton, Hampshire, England • 3

June 25, 1887.J THE HAMPSHIRE ADVERTISER COUNTY NEWSPAPER. 3 the musical portion of which was abridged to allow the much better be left to the imagination. It will be enough to say that from first to last, as a State pageant, as a religious ceremonial, as a popular festival, as a political event, and as demonstrating the personal affection which forms so large a part of the loyalty of the English people to their Queen-as illustrating, moreover, the material progress of the nation in the past fifty years, and so celebrating a national no less than a Royal Jubilee the commemoration in which the Empire on Tuesday engaged, with the metropolitan pageant as its centre, was a transcending and supreme success. We select some of the most noteworthy of these illuminations Grosvenor-square. which overlooks the gardens of Buckingham Palace, might have been expected to do lull justice to such an occasion, and the crowds which surged into it from Park-lane, Oxford-street, and Bond-street until the early hours of Wednesday morning could not fail to be delighted with thespendid illuminations which had been course of preparation for days past.

Variegated lamps of every description gas designs, illuminated pictures, flowers, flags, and brilliant glass ornaments were utilized in order to illuminate the houses. There was not a mansion which had not taken a share in i the illuminations, and the efTect of the whole, with the green Bpace in the centre, was brilliant in i the extreme. On the eastern side of the square Earl Fitzwilham's residence waa illuminated with innumerable pink and white lamps suspended from iron bars by small brass chains, while large designs in gas, taking the shape of vases, stars, and crowns, surrounded the large letters. "VR" On this side of the square the illuminations were chiefly composed of tasteful little lamps, and the balconies of the U1DC, we ursi, gnmpse ot the Queen carnage at once called forth the latent enthusiasm of the thrones of spectators from window and balcony, from galleries and footways arose above 'he pealing of bells and the strains of martial music, deafening cheers, and hurrahs" accompanied with waving of hats and handkerchiefs a right loyal welcome that was repeatedly and graciously acknowledged by the Queen, her sons and daughters. The scene in front of the Abbey at this moment was animated and brilliant to the last degree and well calculated to impress the minds of all who were pn vileged to behold it.

While the service was nro-ceeding the spectators around the Abbey enjoyed the still more picturesque scene which succeeded Here were groups of equerries, outriders and grooms in scarlet unifo-ins there a more brilliant throng of officers of all ranks. The Guards in their places but standing at ease and the Blue-jackets, facing' the Royal entrance, in full fighting order, following the example of the red-coats. In the background the numerous Royal carriages awaiting the signal for the return and in the farther distance could be discerned the nodding plumes of the Life Guards! THE THANKSGIVING SERVICE IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY At 9 o'clock, the many doors of Westminster Abbey, old and new were thrown open to ticket holders, and the building invaded in all parts save those reserved for especially distinguished quests by a vast throng representative in the fullest sense of the classes and masses of English life. Some apprehension had naturally been felt as to the possibly jarring effect of the temporary woodwork and upholstery in combination with the venerable and impressive architecture of the Abbey itself. But a tirst glance at the interior of the edifice as it had left the hands of the contracting tradesmen was reassuring to the most fastidious mind.

The sumD-tuous carpeting of the nave and the Royal dais figured with the Cross of the Bath and manufactured of the particular shade of crimson associated with that Order, the indigo blue of the stalls and benches of the canons and prebendaries, the snowy surplices of the choir, and the scarlet, blue, and gold of countless uniforms blended into one harmonious whole, which in the subdued light of the grand old shrine formed a picture of surpassing beauty, the effect being heightened from time to time by the prismatic tints shed by the rays of the sun as they streamed through the stained-glass windows. Ihe interest of the occasion centering in Her Majesty, it was naturally around the Royal dais or naut pax, situated directly under the lantern, that the principal participants in the thanksgiving ceremony were grouped and during the three hours that elapsed, from the opening of the doors to the commencement of the service, the arrangements made for the accommodation of the various crowned heads or their representatives, the members and connexions of the English Royal Family and the swarthy potentates of the East, come to do honour to the Queen, furnished the early visitors with an endless theme of speculation. For the sake of clearness, we may at once explain what these arrangements were. To the front of the Royal dais was to be seen the Coronation chair, covered with cloth of gold and incasing that old gray stone on which the Sovereigns of England from Edward the Confessor downwards, and before them a long line of Scottish Kings, have been crowned. It was here facing the altar that Her Majesty was to sit.

BeBide and behind her were the places appointed for her own immediate family and their connexions near or distant, from the Crown Prince of Germany to the Princess Irene of Hesse, and from the Prince of Wales to the Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Meiningen. On either side of the altar within the sacrarium were the appointed places of the various crowned heads or their representatives from Europe, Asia, and even the distant Hawaiian Islands the southern transept was set apart for the peers and peeresses, to the number of over 500, flanked by the members of the Diplomatic Body, the Royal Household, and a number of Her "Majesty's specially invited guests in the northern transept were located the members of the House of Commons and their wives or ladies, GOO or more while the choir as far as the organ screen was devoted to the younger Royal children, the ladies and gentlemen in attendance in the processions of the Queen and of the Royal guests, and the Indian Princes and their suites. Only the Royal dais remained untenanted till past noon, at which hour the service was timed to begin. Many members of Parliament and their friends were in attendance by 10 o'clock. Almost simultaneously with the arrival of the Speaker appeared Lord and Lady Salisbury, the Lord Chancellor, Lords Lytton.

Ashbourne, and Cadogan in the robes of" their order other members of the Upper House followed soon after together with the Ambassadors THE QUEEN'S JUBILEE. THi: GRAND CELEBRATION IN LONDON. Supplementing the account of this great event which appeared in our Wednesday's edition, we give the following outline of the day's proceedings, abridged chiefly from the thrilling narrative of the which says Amidst a tumult of rejoicing unequalled in the memory of this or many past generations the Jubilee culminated in a passion of festivity thanksgiving. Such a scene has seldom been wime'd in Europe, and no English eyes are for liMy to look upon its like again. Only they who lived in and through it can realise its wondrous thrill and glow.

Not London alone, but all England transformed itself for the time into a huge Court at which the nation and empire rendered e.ilt to its Sovereign. A flood of enthusiastic filiation swept away the least suspicion of awkwardnesses and shortcomings. Every heart was absolutely in tune with the perfect June weather that it was even difficult to be properly and consciously grateful for the happy accident. It seemed the day's natural right. On other occasions of the performance of a solemn religious function the curiosity exhibited outside haB appeared casual and sometimes impertinent.

A peculiar feature was the entire unity of the whole demonstration. From the moment Her Majesty left the Palace to that in which sh re-entered it. she was traversing a series ot colossal aisles lined with hundreds of thousands ot thanksgiving lieges. The great Abbey was the sanctuary of a still more majestic cathedral and an abounding congregation. That mut have been the dominant sensation of the th'tu-mds who had made their way thither through thf esger and radiant town.

The exquisite charm the ileum rite in which they joined was that it "ed for a multitude infinitely larger outside, which everywhere was swelling the chorus of praise and gratitude. No litter shrine could have been found Eos the mighty heart beating throughout the land." THE ROYAL PROCESSIONS. In the opinion of a god many loyal subjects of Eter Majesty the proverb about the early bird and the worm has a practical application to the other race of bipeds and to good places when, as not very frequently happens in this busy London of ours, there is anything to be seen. Accordingly, St. Jstmess-pa-k and the Cireen-park not to speak for the moment of the streets presented at 7 o'clock in the morning a scene of animation which belongs on ordinary occasions rather to midday than an hour so much in advance of the ordinary Londoner's breakfast time.

Groups of men and women, many of them with camp-stools under their arms, loitered about the foot-paths or lay prone upon the grass, and. as the minutes passed, one could see that the number was gradually increasing. At any rat, when at o'clock, a pretty strong force of police man hed down and took possession of the roadway leading from Buckingham Palace, to Hyde-park-corner. there was quite a respectable muster of sight-sier, and by half-past when the Volunteers appeared on the scene, the muster had grown to a crwd numerous enough in itself, but insignificant i pared with the thousands who. by 11 o'clock, stooi! in deep rows on either side of "the military iiie.

Emerging from the Park and proceeding along Piccadilly, one perceived that the crowds were even more dense. By-and-bye the forecourt of I'alace presented a very animated appearance, ami outside the crowd had been got into something' lik" order, thanks to the exertions of the police. In rapid succession the troops who were to line the route now came up. Exactly at 10 o'clock his Koyal Hiirhness the Commander-in-Chief arrived, artcn kd by all the principal members of the Horse Guards Stan. Lord Wolseley receiving a particularly warm greeting.

Of course they were all in full dress, with their decorations and medals the link- of Cambridge being distinguished by his Coll and Star of the Order of the Garter and by the Field-Marshal's baton which he carried and as thi passed into the forecourt of the Palace, and look up their position in the rear of the Naval column, the scene was a very brilliant one. A wealth of colours was supplied bv the masses of military uniforms, whilst on a stand near the warden entrance, a large party of ladies and children in light costumes afforded a pleasant relief to eye? wearied with the sight of so much brilliant reu and shining metal. The next hour was spent bv tti. people who crowded, in their ten of thousands, wherever the merest glimpse of the route could be obtained in watching those members of the Royal Family who were not resident at the Palace arrive in take their places in the procession which was Shortly to be marshalled in the courtyard. I he first of the great processions was that of the Indian Princes.

Having assembled in Hyde Park, it slowly moved up the road preceded by a party oi Hussars and a troop of Life Guards. The carriages were open, and consequently the public had a full view of the distinguished visitors who have come from Her Majesty's Eastern dominions for the celebration of the Jubilee. They were attired in the many-coloured, gem-decked turbans and flowing vestments of their native land, and we-e the objects of the serious interest of the multitude. The Maharajah and Maharanee of Kuch Behar and the Holkar. whose shoulders were covered with bullion woven into his tunic, were recognised and loudly cheered.

But apart from the personalities of individuals, the Bubject thai gave rise to the most excited comment, and the greatest amount of wonder was the turban of his Highness the Iiao of Kutch, which, when the sn flashed upon it. really blazed with the scintillating lights of diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. The next procession was disappointing to the public, because the carriages were closed. As it was evident, however, that they contained ot note, the livery of the coachmen and footmen being of the Royal colour, eyes were strained at every point of the route in order to catch a glimpsf of the occupants, and when it was seen that the third carriage contained her Royal Highness the Duchess of Teck the silence that had till then prevailed was at once broken, and cheer after cheer was raised. The next in order to pass were the carriages conveying the Persian and Siamese guests of Her Majesty and the Queen of Hawaii.

They were accompanied by an escort of the 2nd Life Guards and passed at a trot. At 11 o'clock the cheers of the people near Buckingham Palace announced the departure of the great procession of foreign Potentates. It was attended by a fields officer's escort of the 1st Life Guards, and headed hy a party of the Royal huntsmen. Each carnage was drawn by two bays, whose harness, heavv with gilt, glittered brightly with the sun's rays. Their manes were decorated in claret-coloured ribbons.

The hammer -cloths were resplendent with scarlet and gold, and the coachman and footmen, of whom there were three behind each carriage, were, it need hardly be said, in full dress, three-cornered hats. wigs, and knee breeches! These carriages again were closed, and the public consequently had but little opportunity of recognising the Royalties within. At a quarter to 11 an advance party of Hussars and Life Guards, headed by officers holding high command, slowly turned the corner into Piccadilly. They were followed by outriders in scarlet, beautifully mounted on bay horses, and then came the carriages containing the ladies-in-waiting and the great officers of the Household. There were in all eleven open carriages in this procession.

The sixth conveyed Princess Victoria of Schleswie-Holstein. Princess Margaret of Prussia, and Prince Alfred of Kdinburgh. In the seventh were the Princesses Victoria and Sophie of Prussia, Princess Louis of Battenberg. and Princess Irene of Hesse. The eighth carriage conveyed the Princesses Maud, Victoria, and Louise of Wales, who looked charming in their light dresses.

The Duchess of Con-naught and the Duchess of Albany (who was easily recognised by the half-mourning which she wore) were in the ninth carriage. The Duchess of Edinburgh. Princess Beatrice. Princess Louise, and I'rincess Christian came next. The carriages of the Royal Princesses were each drawn by four horses, ridden by postillions.

Between the eleventh carriage and the Queen's rode the procession of Princes, preceded by the Master of the Buckhounds and the Koyal Whip and huntsmen. The appearance of this part of the pageant was the signal for cheers such as are seldom heard nowadays, and truly it was a sight which is not likely to be oirsotten. First came the grandsons of Her Majesty, amid whom Prince Albert Victor in the uniform of the 10th Hussars was conspicuous then Her Majesty's sons-in-law. the Crown Prince of Germany, looking magnificent in the white uniform and silver helmet of an officer of Cuirassiers. Prince wistiao, the Grand Duke of Hesse, and Prince Henry of Battenberg and lastly the Prince of VjMea, wearing a Field-Marshal's uniform and ndiUl: a splendid chestnut charger, the Duke of Minhurgh.

and the Duke of Connaught. The rs which prptjrt this p-rent wp.rp con tinued until the Queen's carriage passed, when they v'-ueu until the Queen carnage pas "'creased in volume.

Her Majesty, who seemed to be aoiMst overcome by the fervid manifestations of which her appearance evoked, kept bowing i the right and left as the procession progressed at toots pace. The Crown Princess of Germany appeared greatly pleased to witness this reception of Her Majesty, and the Princess of I who.8l-J drsa was pronounced bv the ladies to a marvel of elegance and taste, acknowledged the acclamations of the people with her wonted grace.

I "fortunately the procession, almost at the very Biart. was marred by an accident, alarming in its ture, but happily slight in its result.

these were simply suffering from faintness caused by the heat and the crush. At St. Thomas's Hospital only one case, that of a boy who had injured himself by falling from a tree in Hyde Park, was reported. There were a few cases at St. George's Hospital, but one was a very saJ one.

A man named Joseph Carmerf ord, aged about 37. address not known, fell from a scaffold while the procession was passing Grosvenor-place, and sustained fatal injuries. At Middlesex Hospital no erson was treated during the progress of the procession, but later in the afternoon a man, name unknown, but believed to reside at Kentish-town was admitted suffering from some injuries to the head caused by his stumbling from the pavement in New Bond-street and striking his head against the wheel of a passing cab. On Tuesday morning about 9 o'clock an omnibus was overturned in the Caledonian-road, opposite the King s-cross Metropolitan Railway Station, owing, it is alleged, to one of the wheels becoming locked in the tram lines, and the passengers were thrown violently to the ground. In St.

James's Park a tree on which several persons were assembled gave way. but nobody seriously hurt. Whilst the immense crowd was awaiting the arrival of the Royal procession a horse took fright and rushed towards Regent-street. The roads had not then been cleared, and the result was that close by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's offices three persons were knocked down and severely injured. A mounted policeman gave chase, and succeeded in catching the runaway animal, receiving the applause of the multitude as he returned.

PRESENTATION OF THE WOMEN'S JUBILEE OFFERING TO THE QUEEN. Up to 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon there was a constant stream of carriages containing well-known faces in the fashionable world pouring in at the Ambassadors' Gate of Buckingham Palace. Before proceeding to the Children's Jubilee in the Park, Her Majesty had made arrangements to receive many presentations from both Home and Foreign bodies, and the chief interest of the occasion was that the more important of the presentations came from bodies either exclusively composed or largely consisting of ladies. The most valuable gift was, of course, that subscribed for as the Women's Jubilee Offering." and it was presented in the presence of over 200 Peeresses, LordLathom, Sir Henry Ponsonby, and other members of the Household, in the White Drawing Room. The Women's Jubilee Present takes the form of an equestrian statue of the late Prince Consort, to be raised in Windsor Park, in the place known as Smith's Lawn.

It will be a replica of the famous statue in Glasgow, and the Queen has expressed her desire that the foundation-stone of the monument shall be laid by herself on July 14. In addition to the statue, the funds will admit of a large amount being handed over to some charitable purpose, not yet decided upon. In all over 75,000 has been collected, and before the subscriptions close it is expected the sum will amount to 80,000. There were in all about three million subscribers. 1,600,414 in England contributing on the average 7Jd per head 346,217 in Scotland, at 5Jd per head 149,346 in Ireland, at 5fd and 128,438 in Wales, at 4d.

Other parts of the Empire also contributed 26,174 in Burmah sending 9134 rupees. With the gift was presented a beautiful address on vellum, fringed in gold, and adorned with the Royal Arms, the dates 1837-1887, and the Arms of London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Dublin, There were about 200 ladies present among whom were the Duchess of Bedford, Duchess of Buccleuch, Duchess of Marlborough, Dowager Marchioness of Lansdowne, Lady Londesborough, Lady Montagu of Beaulieu, Lady Mount Temple, Lady Muncaster, Lady North Lady Palmer, Lady Wantage Sec. The company assembled in the White Drawing Room, where Her Majesty, who was preceded by Lord Lathom, the Lord Chamberlain, and Lord Bridport, was accompanied by the Crown Princess of Germany, Princess Beatrice, and other members of the Royal Family. Her Majesty passed down the double row of ladies, and the Countess of Strafford, as President of the Committee then presented her with a beautifully illuminated address emblazoned with the arms of various towns of the kingdom, and the names of subscribers in England, Scotland, and Wales, the scrolls of names being enclosed in an historical box which once belonged to George III. The Countess informed Her Maiesty that the subscriptions were contributed by nearly 3,000,000 women in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

Her Excellency the Marchioness of Londonderry then, on behalf of the Irishwomen, presented the Queen with a handsome casket, carved out of Irish bog oak. with a representation of the Irish harp with golden strings on the cover. The presentations were graciously received by Her Majesty, who spoke to many of the ladies, and the deputation then retired. The address presented to the Queen was as follows May it please your Majesty, We venture to approach your Majesty to-day, on behalf of millions of your Majesty's women subjects throughout the United Kingdom, who, differing in class, condition, and opinions, press joyfully forward on this momentous occasion to lay at your Majesty's feet the homage of their deep and devoted loyalty. In asking your Majesty's gracious acceptance at our hands of an enduring memento of this auspicious anniversary, we are not unmindful of the sad fact that 50 years of public life are in this world never suffered to pass without bringing in their train heavy sorrows and anxieties, and of these we know too well that your Majesty's share has been large.

While, therefore, we hail with just pride and gladness an epoch that stands alone in history whether of our own or of other nations we humbly hope for permission to offer our Sovereign the tribute, not only of he- people's heartfelt congratulations, but that also of their reverent and loving sympathy. That no cloud of unhappiness may again arise to darken the pathway of our beloved Queen, that peace may be within her walls and prosperity within her palaces, and that the Almighty may grant her days to be long in the land, will ever be the fervent prayer of your Majesty's loyal and dutiful women subjects and servants. OTHER PRESENTATIONS. Another presentation came from the Royal Household, and was presented by Lord Mount-Edgcumbe. With happy forethought the list of subscribers was not confined to the present acting household, but included all who had ever held office in thi3 special and particular branch of direct personal service.

The Queen expressed herself pleased to meet so many oi her past as well as her present Court Circle, and with thanks accepted the gift, which consisted of a superbly-chased piece of plate. Another presentation of considerable interest came from the Royal Female School of Art, Queen-square, Bloomsbury. The deputation was intro duced by Sir Philip Cunliffe Owen, vice-president of the school, and consisted of Miss Torcin (the superintendent), Miss H. Wilson (the headmistress), and Miss Lydia B. King (Queen's scholar and gold medallist), who presented tne album designed by the students at the college.

Miss Ethel Nisbet, national gold medallist and Princess of Wales a scholar, presented a portfolio on behalf of the chromo-lithographic studio. The Queen has always taken a kindly interest in the school, and had this year given it the right to call itself Royal. CHILDREN'S FETE LN HYDE PARK. The great festive gathering of London school children in Hyde Park to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee was held, on Wednesday, and passed off with the most remarkable success. Nearly 30,000 children assembled at the two points of rendezvous, Birdcage Walk and Kegent Park, and marched in admirable order to the place of festivity.

As the former and somewhat larger contingent passed Buckingham Palace, the Queen, from the balcony, bowed her greetings. All the little ones reached their destination safely, punctually, and in capital spirits. Abundant refreshments and various amusements were provided for them. The Prince and Princess of Wales, with their family and Royal guests, were early on the ground, and showed unreserved sympathy with the children. With due escort, the Queen arrived soon after 5, the children having previously been drawn up along the line of the Royal route.

A little girl who had been chosen as the representative of all the others for her faultless record of scholastic life was led by the Prince of Wales to the Royal carriage, and Her Majesty with gracious words presented to her the hrst or the Jubilee cups, thousands ol Sivenile voices joined in singing of The Old undredth," "God Bless the Prince of Wales," and 'God Save the Queen. Before the Royal pro cession passed on the Queen expressed the great satisfaction which she had derived from the spectacle she had witnessed of youthful happiness. All day the weather was perfectly delightful bright and warm, without being in the least oppressive. The arrangements were in every parti cular of the most perfect character, as must be inferred from tne fact that not a single mishap occurred. Each one of the 30,000 children was safely returned to its home before nightfall.

To Mr. E. Lawson, who originated the idea which was realised, the children owe a deep debt of gratitude. Thanks are also due from them to the many donors who supplied tne runos required to defray the cost of the fete. First among these were the proprietors of the Daily Telegraph, who headed the list of subscriptions with a very large sum, and undertook the collection of subscriptions and the general management of the festival.

To the Committee of Organisation, also, the gratitude of the children ought to extend. The task of arranging for their safety and providing for their wants involved no slight amount oi iore-thought and care, and was fulfilled with a conscientiousness which deserved and commanded success. THE QUEEN AT WINDSOR. Hfr Maieatv left Paddineton at 6 o'clock on Wed- naulitr nicrht. frr Windsor.

Alighting at Slough, the Queen was presented with two addresses, to whicn replies were returned, a processus toicu carriages was then formed, the first being occupied by the Queen, the Crown rnncess oi u-ermaiijf.

At ciuu, profusely decorated, the College authorities and students presented addresses to the Queen, who re turned reolies. The procession reacneo tuunur at twenty minutes after seven, and Her Majesty there unveiled the statue of herself which had been erected as a Jubilee memorial. Replying to an ad dress presented to her, the Queen said sne was deeply touched by the gratifying evidence which that work of art attorded ot tne airacnmeui uw Throne and person of the people of Windsor.

The Bishop of London is robed as a peer the Dean and the Archbishops wear the heavily-embroidered copes associated with the service of the Abbey. Following the clergy, come lnr quick succession the Heralds of Lancaster and indsor, the Gentlemen Ushers, the Comptroller of the Lord Chamberlain's Department, the Groom of the Robes, the Lord in Waiting, the Groom in Waiting, the Groom of the Stole to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and the Vice-Chamberlain a brilliant group. Outside is heard a long, deep, reverberating cheer, the volume of which fills' the Abbey itself and announces more eloquently than the silver trumpets, the arrival of the Queen, Even while the vast expectant assemblage is being thrilled by the sound the immediate precursors of Her Majesty enter the nave, the members of the Royal House, near or distant, walking three and three in the order previously given.

There is a momentary lull in the clangour of the trumpetB, and from all parts of the Abbey whence the western entrance can be seen every eye is strained to catch a glimpse of the Royal lady who is the centre of this brilliant pageant. Again the silver trumpets give tongue Garter appears, and then comes the Queen, escorted with much courtly obei-dance by the Lord Chamberlain and the Lord Steward. Robed in black as usual, Her Majesty yet makes concession to the joyous character of the day so far as to wear a bonnet of white Spanish lace, in which Bparkle diamonds, while her bosom is adorned with the Orders of the Garter and the Star of India. The stirring strains of Handel thundered from the organ give expression to the sentiment of the people, which elsewhere would doubtless find vent in a deafening cheer of loyalty and enthusiasm, for these venerable walls impose silence. But the entire assemblage evinces its respect by rising to its feetas the Queen passes to the Royal dais and takes her seat in the historic chair of Scone, once a bone of contention between the English and the Scots, and now the accepted symbol of their union.

It is a solemn as well as a joyous moment this passage of the Queen through the Abbey, for, as Jeremy Taylor uuaervea, ib strangely aecreea tnat our sovereigns should celebrate the most glorious events of their lives amid the dust of their ancestors a terribly eloquent memento mori. So it is with bowed head and reverent mien tht the Queen advances to take her part in a ceremony which she can never see again ana mere is probably no heart in the mighty throng that does not extend to her its sympathy. After the Queen comes a procession of xvoyai ana imperial Jfnncesses, arranged in the natural order of precedence, the most exalted in rank being nearest Her Majesty's person. Arrived at the Royal dais the groups of princes and princesses dispose themselves respectively to the right and left of the ueen, facing the altar, and with this arrangement the picture is complete. A noble picture it is one that has never been eoualled in thin ntmntrv and the like ef which no eye that has rested upon it may hope to see again.

In the centre of the ham pas sits the Queen, the members of her family being groupeu Desiue ana oenina ner. Around and above wherever the eve turns, a re splendent Ten Thousand, destined, it may be, to a record no less enduring in the world's annals than that of the army of Xenoohon I It is a scene which a Rubens might despair to reproduce grand, majestic, mniiing 10 tears, ana in every sense a worthy memorial of the golden weddine of the Oueen and the nation. As soon as the Roval dais is filled the service ordered by the Queen in Council is begun, the Arch- Disnon or canterbury, the Dean of Westminster, and the Bishop of London officiating. As a "thanksgiving and praver" it is annronriatelv simnle. with special music, partly selected by the Queen from the compositions of the late Prince Consort, partly composed and arranged for the occasion by Dr.

Bridge, and rendered by a choir of 300 voices (recruited from all the Chapels Royal, St. Paul's, and other churches), and by the great organ of the Abbey, wan ine support ot Brass ana arums. Alter a blessing upon the Queen has been asked in the shape of prayers and responses, the Te Dcum Laudamux of the late Prince Consort is performed, and proves to be a fittingly impressive work, originally written for soli, chorus, and orchestra, but adapted to the organ and the brass without loss of effect. It is in the key of and is written in a solemn, and, at the 6ame time, devotional style, well suited to the character of the words. Short soli are interspersed with the chorus, but upon the latter the chief burden of the work lies, ihree special prayers are subsequently pronounced by the Archbishop of Canterbury, after which is sung the people's prayer Exaudiat Te Dominus to the 5th Gregorian tone arranged by Dr.

Bridge. The Dean reads the lesson, Pet. ii. o-18. and then comes the anthem specially composed by Dr.

Bridge for the Jubilee to the words Blessed be the Lord thy God, which delighted in thee to set thee on His throne, to be King for the Lord thy God." This is in the key of and commences with a suave allegrette. The National Anthem plays a conspicuous part in the musical design. It enters towards the close of the first chorus, and again is heard in the final climax. Nothing, in short, could be better suited to the solemnity of the occasion. During the service the Queen is visibly affected.

following the words carefully in the book handed to her bv the Lord Chamberlain, and the impressive ceremonial cannot be without its effect upon the most cynical. When the benediction comes, the Queen, who has sat during the prayers, half-rises, evidently with the intention of kneeling at the prie- dieu in front of her, but it is too far off she therefore drops back into the chair and rests her head upon her hands as the final blessing is pronounced. This brings the prescribed ceremonial to a close, but the family character of the gathering around the Queen gives rise to a display of affection, loyalty, and devotion between the Sovereign and the assembled Princes and Princesses of her own House undreamt of in the Lord Chamberlain's philosophy. First the Prince of Wales salutes Her Majesty on the hand and receives in return a kiss on the cheek. The Crown Prince and the Grand Duke of Hesse pay their homage likewise, the former kneeling, but retire without the gracious salute of the Royal lips.

Then, carried away by the impulse of the moment, Her Majesty embraces all the Princes and Princesses of her family with manifest emotion, and to complete the pathos of the scene calls back the Crown Prince and the Grand Duke of Hesse with a winning smile to confer upon them the privilege they had failed to receive or to claim. Her Majesty then makes an obeisance to the Foreign Royalties, which is returned by them, the organ strikes up Mendelssohn's thrilling March of the Priests in the brillant throng fades away as it came, never to recover form or substance within the experience of the existing generation. THE RETURN TO BUCKINGHAM PALACE. The return from the Abbey was as triumphal a pro gress as the journey from the palace. Whitehall is scarcely described adequately by any language that has been employed in respect of the narrower thoroughfares of the route.

Compared with the vast area covered by the crowd, even the broad roadway kept clear by the troops was but a narrow cnasm, along which it seemed impossible that the procession could make its way. In Pall-mall and St. James's-Btreet all the resources of clubland were brought into operation, and it is not too much to say that the scene of grace and beauty opened up to the Queen as she turned round from Charing-cross into Pall-mall will never be paralleled. There was, perhaps, less of tumultuous cheering in these aristocratic regions than in Piccadilly, Regent-street, and Trafalgar-square but that loyalty which was not so plainly manifested to the ear was even more plainly manifested to the eye. When Piccadilly was reached the scene of an hour or two before reproduced itself, and when the Queen's carriage passed finally within the precincts of St.

James's Park, there was a burst of cheering from more than 10,000 people, who had congregated in the vast area of Hyde Park Corner. So far as the Queen was concerned, the ceremony of the day was now over. But for the people it was to be prolonged into the afternoon and evening, and far away into the night and the early morning.

G. A. F. Shadwell, of Baddesley Manor. They assembled at the schools at 5 o'clock, when they were regaled with a plentiful supply of bread-and-butter, jam, cake.

kc. After tea Mr. Shadwell, having suitably addressed the party, gave prizes to the most punctual and diligent scholars. The children then sang God save the Queen," and each one having been supplied with a bun and a packet of sweets, cheers were given for the Queen and for Mr. Shadwell, after which all adjourned to the Village Green, and indulged in various games until dusk, when the beacon tire at Farley, and the fire and fireworks at Rownhams and" Otterbourne, afforded a pleasing spectacle, and terminated a very pleasant evening.

Odiham. The celebrati on of the Jubilee was held in this town on Tuesday. The residents of the High-street had been busy all Monday in preparing for the event, by decorating their houses. The town was roused at an early hour on Tuesday by the firing of guns, which was continued at intervals. Then a party, headed by a drummer, and one with a shrill melodion, in costume, played down the street, when some dozen men with guns fired 'salutes.

At 5 o'clock about fifteen or twenty Volunteers in uniform, under the command of Lieutenant V. Mclntyre. fell in, and at intervals tired some first-class volleys. By this time the inhabitants were, of course, fairly woke up, and the arrangements for the day commenced. Nineteen tables were soon ready for the dinner.

At 12 o'clock the town was fail ly full of people. A procession was formed, and proceeded to church, headed by the banner of the Foresters. A sermon was preached by the Vicar. The service being over, the capital band of the Norfolk Regiment arrived, and played during dinner. The sight was charming looking up the town at this time.

Mr. Foster managed to secure a set of six instantaneous photographs of different points of the street. A procession was formed at the Board School of the children, and. headed by the drum and life band, they marched to the Palace Grounds, where they were provided with tea and cake. Soon after 3 o'clock the town had the appearance of the deserted village, all going to a large field, known as Pratt's Park, where sports were at once commenced, including over thirty events.

The band played, and dancing and various amusements were indulged in. At 9 o'clock a move was made to the town, when, in the centre of street, the band played God save the Queen." which was heartily joined in, and followed by ringing cheers. The illuminations were then commenced. Mr. ooilman had a string of fairy lamps across the street, which had a very pleasing effect the house decorations in some cases were very pretty.

At 10 o'clock a move was made for the Chalk Pit-hill, where, near the. firs, a large bonfire was lighted. The sight from this hill was grand, as twenty-eight large beacon fires could be counted. Special mention may be made of Greywell-hill. Beacon-hill, Aldershot, Cove Common, Bentley, Alton.

Basingtoke, Farley-hill, The fireworks from most of these places were well viewed, especially those of Basingstoke and Greywell. Soon after 11 groups of people were seen going to their homes, highly pleased with what had been provided for them, and God save the Queen could be heard in all directions. About midnight several salutes were again fired to conclude the great Jubilee dav. Great credit is due to the committee, for all went off as merry as a marriage bell. Isle op Wight.

Never perhaps has the Isle of Wight been so gay and jubilant as in its celebration of the Jubilee on Tuesday. In all parts of the Island there has been rejoicing. Rich and poor have conspired to make each other happy. Free dinners, free teas, and free entertainments, were the order of the day. At Newport, Ryde.

Sandown, Ventnor, Ryde, Newport, Freshwater, Yarmouth, Cowes, and other parts were also-decorated and illuminated, though the principal celebrations at Newport, Ryde, and Cowes are deferred with the hope of obtaining the honour of a visit rrom the Queen on the occasion ot their demonstration. Bonfires were lit up about 10 o'clock on the principal hills of the Island. Details of Jubilee proceedings in the Island will be found, as on Wednesday, in our Isle of Wight news.

Portsmouth. The Jubilee was brilliantly celebrated at Portsmouth, where the dav (Tuesday) was observed as a general holiday. The men-of-war were dressed with masthead and over-all flags, while Royal standards and decorations and illuminations. some of them very costly and elaborate, were very general throughout the streets. In the morning there was a grand military review upon Southsea Common, in which the whole of the troops in the garrison, with the local Volunteer corps, took part.

At noon the flagship and garrison and the mounted battery on the common tired Jubilee salutes of 50 guns, after which the troops fired a feu le joie, and executed a march past in various formations. In the afternoon the Sunday schools and the Union children assembled 23.000 strong, in the soldiers' re creation ground, where they sang the National Anthem, and afterwards marched in procession through the principal thoroughfares with banners and bands back to the recreation ground, where tney were provided with tea and presented with Jubilee medals. In the evening five military bands performed on as many platforms on the common, the programme ending with a magnificent display of fireworks. The streets were brilliantly illuminated, as was the tower of the parish church. The military headquarters exhibited transparencies in each window containing the names of all the battles which had been fought during the reign.

The en trance to the dockyard, the park gates, the yacht clubs, the offices of the public companies, the Guild hall, and other public buildings, and many private houses were illuminated by devices in gas, Cremorne lamps, and Chinese lanterns.

The most novel and Dictnresone of thfliRlp- brations was DerhaDs the series of v.sw on tires whipri blazed upon the principal inland heights and the loftiest promontories arouna the coasts. The signal rocket shot up from Malvern Beacon at 10 o'clock, and was visible to watchers in ten counties around. The signal was flashed on from point to point till it reached the craigs of Shetland and Orkney across the sea in the north and to Land's End in the south, while fires were burning along an line caier mountain ranges or the country.

The ceremony of lighting the Malvern Beacon fire was nrecederl according to custom, by a little allegorical prelude. At a BHct a prueeasiou was lormea on me terrace at tne eastern base of the hill, and a number of the principal muaouants. oeanng torcnes, wound their way up the height to a plateau known as St. Ann's Well. Here thev halted, and the National Anthem was sung by thousands of voices, on which a venerable "hermit of the hill" emerred from the hill fastness and inquired the cause of this disturbance of his repose, and, after a reply by a youinrui iairy or tne spring, the intruders proceeded on their way the procession dividing at this point, one portion turning towards the north and ascendinc to the top of the North Hill, where the rockets were to be fired, and the other proceeding as direct as cireum-stances Dermitted up the Worcestershire beacon to light the bonfire.

To vessels coming up Channel on Tuesday night the beacon fires on various points of the Cornish coast were visioie. it was a magnincent sight. The beacon and other hill fires in the Lake District on Tuesday night were a great success. The signal for lighting up was given shortly after 10 o'clock, and peak after peak burst into flame in the calm, clear night. Uunareas or people ascended tne hills in the neighbourhood of Ecndal.

Flintshire, one of the highest mountains in North Wales, was flred at 10 o'clock on Tuesday night, and from its summit answering beacons could be seen all along the Carnarvonshire range. At 10.30 a dozen beacons could be seen blazing away furiously to north and south, the spectacle being magnificent. Lord Tollemache successfully flred his Cheshire beacon at 10.30.

The Jubilee fires in Worcestershire have been followed by some extensive conflagrations among the furze on Clent Hill. A great reach of hill side was burned. The gorse bushes on Hartlebury Common were purposely set on fire, and a track half a mile in length was burned. JUBILEE INCIDENTS. On Wednesday the Grand Jubilee Service was repeated in Westminster Abbey in the presence of a full congregation, a collection for the benefit of the London Hospitals was made.

There was a Jubilee Festival at the Crystal Palace on Wednesday. The Marchioness of Salisbury gave a reception at the Foreign Offlceon Wednesday night, which was attended by the Imperial and Royal guests of Her Majesty and a very numerous and distinguished company. The celsbrations of the Jubilee were continued in many provincial towns on Wednesday, by entertainments to the school children and the poor, and the inauguration of permanent memorials. The beacon fires were lighted at 10 o'clock on Tuesday meht on the tops of all the mountains and high hills in England, and on many in Ireland, and were seen for very long dis-tancea Several fatal accidents occurred on Tuesday in different parts of the country, chiefly through the premature discharge of cannon, or through fireworks becoming accidentally ignited. Besides these a number of people received injuries.

Bishopstoke. The Jubilee reioicingB in this village took place on Tuesday, and were of a most gratifying character, the liberality of Captain Har-greaves, of The Mount, adding much to make the day a memorable one. The place was very gaily decorated. At the bottom of the village a line of flags the entire length of the Flour Mills floated. Mr.

Searle had bunting across the village street, and Mr. Oliffe, of the Post-Office, a pretty string of flags and a Jubilee inscription, with a portrait of Uer Maiesty at each end, attached to the telegraph-post and stretching across the street. Mr. Gibbs, at the Anchor Inn, displayed a dag and bunting across the road and river. At Stoke Hill, Mr.

Josiah Cook's flag-staff bore the National flag, supplemented by other flags. Mr. Laishley had a very pretty crown and Jubilee inscription, supported by other flags. As The Mount was approached a pretty sight presented itself. Captain Harg reaves had had erected a triumphal arch, surmounted with a Jubilee banner and God save the Queen," while The Mount looked gay in the extreme.

At 11 o'clock in the morning a special service was held at the church, an address being delivered by the Rev. G. J. Athill. Diocesan Inspector of Schools, Winchester.

Following this a dinner was given to the people of the parish over 60 years of age in the Board Schools. The Rev. J. P. Nash, rector, presided, supported by Mrs.

Yonge, Miss Bowers, Major-General Ro bison. Major-Gen. Gubbins, Major-General Macbean, C.B., Mr. J. Bailey and Mr.

G. JC. Yonge occupying the vice chairs. The dinner, 3erved by Mr. George Love, gave every satisfaction, and at its conclusion the Chairman, remarking the present was the fourth Jubilee of English sovereigns, sketched the circumstances attending the three previous occasions.

Coming to the present celebration, he showed the progress that had attended the auspicious reign of Queen Victoria, and dwelt on the domestic and public virtues of Her Maiesty as a ruler, mother, and leader of the foremost nation of the world. He concluded by asking them to drink The health of Her Moat Gracious Maiesty Queen Victoria. The toast waa received with the greatest loyalty. The Chairman then called on Mr. G.

E. Yonge, as one whose memory and knowledge of Her Maiestv's coronation would enable him to suitably do so, to address them on the special events of the day. Mr. rouge said he well remembered, as an Eton boy. sitting on the walls of the College at night waiting the last bulletin of the state of Her Majesty's predecessor, and hearing on the following morning news of His Majesty's death and the consequent accession of Princess Victoria to the Throne of England.

The chairman had alluded to the request made by Her Majesty to the Archbishop to pray for her. That request embodied the guiding, and, in fact, the whole principle of her life and reign. Mr. i onge concluded by proposing The health of the Chairman," with an expression of their best thanks for the part he had taken in the day's proceedings. ine toast was ouiy nonoured, and acknowledged by the Chairman.

The festivities were not confined to the adults, but the children of the village and Fair Oak were also regaled. Soon after 1 o'clock those belonging to Bishopstoke were marshalled by the head teacher of the Board Schools (Mr. Edwin Sims) and went in procession from the Mills to The Mount, carrying flags, and accompanied by a large number of the public. Conspicuous in the proces sion was a well-manned boat, drawn on a carriage, and prettily decorated. The children from Fair Oak and neighbourhood were conveyed in waggons Kinuiy lent Dy jar.

carroot, Mr. Hall, and others. The procession was headed bv the Lockerlv Temner- ance Band. Arriving at The Mount, the children were received by Captain Harereaves. who ex pressed the very great pleasure it gave him to meet anu entertain them on this auspicious occasion, and said he hoped all would enjoy themselves.

Hearty cheers were then given bv the children for th Queen, followed by more for their generous host. Tea was provided for the large number of children and adults by Mr. Mitchell, of Southampton, at the expense of Captain Hargreaves. There was a grand display of fireworks in the evening, and a most brilliant exhibition of the electric light. The picture galleries and the whole of the splendid grounds were thrown open, and no pains or expense were spared by Captain Hargreaves to make everyone who visited The Mount thoroughly happy.

UPTON Gbkt. Monday last was the day fixed for the celebration of the Queen's Jubilee here. The weather was all that could be desired, and the pretty village was decorated with flags, mottoes, Avj. A committee had been formed, and donations were given by Sir W. Martin, Right Hon.

G. uouse occupieu Dy air jonn SLelk were covered with them. Flairs and lamps marked the. Kmim. Howard Vincent, and of the Duchess of Marlborough and at the house of Mr.

The outside of the house of the Earl of Dartmouth had a large crown in the centre and was illuminated otherwise with Chinese lanterns surrounded by flags. At the Earl of Harrowby's house there wa3 a very pretty crown, surrounded by hanging Biiiufs oi vanegaieu lamps, ana V.K- in blue, the whole presenting a remarkablv nrettv ntatnra Rut. tia of the most brilliantly illuminated houses was that of air.

An attractive spectacle was presented by the house of the Marquis of Lothian, which was illuminated with a handsome and peculiar design. A large star, composed of small lamps, lit up a large thistle, and exposed the motto, Nemo me linpune lacessit. uaitnorpe had a pretty crown and a star upon his house, with the illuminated letters.

V.R," and the same desicm was ad on ted at the house. of Mr. H. L. W.

Lawson, M.P., in very brilliant colours, while the house was gaily decorated with flags. The umer nouses tne square were an very prettily illuminated and decorated, including those of the Danish Minister, Mr. R. Benyon, and Lady Margaret uaneris, as wen as tne Italian embassy. In Park-lane one of the most beautifully decorated mansions was that of Lord Tweedmauth, though few of the residents failed to decorate and illuminate their houses in a very tasteful manner.

In Great Stanhope-street. Chesterfleld-gardens, and Queen-street there were many houses brilliantly illuminated which would aeserve, under ordinary circumstances, more than cursory notice. In Berkeley-square, the residences of the Earl of Powis, Sir Theodore Brinckman. Mr. F.

B. Mildmay, M.P., and Mr. Albert Brassey were particularly noticeable, while the residence of the Earl of Londes-borough was magnificently illuminated. Perhaps one of the most brightly lit up and prettily decorated thoroughfares in the whole metropolis was and whether the sightseers entered this important street from Piceadiliy or from Oxford-street, their eyes were met by a beautiful and harmonious display of colour which did full credit to the occasion which called it into existence. More taste and ingenuity were shown in this quarter of a mile of roadway than perhaps has ever been seen in it before upon any occasion of public rejoicing, and the additions of the illuminations and decorations to the garlands hung from Venetian masts, which had been fixed along each side of the street, formed a spectacle long to be remembered.

There was no more tastefully illuminated building in Piccadilly than the Bachelors' Club, with its varied and well-conceived arrangement of fairy-lamps. At the Junior Athenaeum Club there was also an admirable display of fairy-lamps festooned across the windows, with a crown and fleur-de-lis designed by Faraday and Son. The Savile Club had an arrangement of coloured lamps, while outside the St. James's Club a large star, flanked by the letters V.R was seen to great advantage. The manner in which the Badminton Club was lighted called forth a good deal of commendation.

A large number of fairy-lamps were hung round the windows, while a few brilliantly-tinted Chinese lanterns swung to and fro in the balcony. The Naval and Military Club showed a beautiful array of fairy-lamps, with the letters V.R." surmounted by a crown, and flanked right and left by 1887." The Turf Club displayed a shield and crown with V.R" interwoven while the Baroness Burdett-Coutts introduced an element of novelty by showing an exceedingly pretty arrangement of Chinese lanterns depending from the balcony, with a number of braziers containing flambeaux running round the edge of the roof. The most brilliantly lighted exterior in Piccadilly was undoubtedly Devonshire House. At the western end of the wall in front of the house a star arrangement of gas jets is shown. Over the first gateway was an outlined shield with the date 1837 in the centre and surmounted by a crown.

Then came another star containing Honi soit qui mal pense round the border. In the centre of the wall was a large inscription. "God save the Queen." surmounted by "V.R." and crown with scroll underneath. Over the eastern gateway was another outlined shield with 1887 and crown on the top. the coping of the wall being set off by a profuse di-play of gas jets.

Lincoln and Bennett, St. James's-hall. Prinee's-hall, and a few other establishments showed interesting illuminated devices. In Oxford-street a beautiful spectacle of illuminations and decorations awaited the immense crowds which poured from all directions into that great central and western thoroughfare. In new Oxford street the most notable sight was the new building erected for Messrs.

Peara. where much time and trouble had evidently been expended upon an illumination which throughout the evening attracted the attention of enormous masses of people. Under the quotation from Shakespeare, A pattern to all princes living with her and all that shall succeed," was a large portrait of Her Majesty, 20ft. square, on one side of which was and on the other in the gas wreaths. 17ft.

high, tastefully displayed above which were three shields adorned with banners surmounted at the highest portion of the house by three immense flags, indicative of the nationality of Messrs. Pears' several houses in England. America, and Australia. The whole waa brilliantly lit up by a large gas star and wreath, while from the top of the house numerous electric lamps showed to advantage a number of large flags hanging from the windows. Mudie's had a large star.

The premises of the London and County Bank, at the corner of High-street and New Oxford-street, were lit with a large gas star, and at the opposite corner the Horse Shoe bore in bold characters the motto "God bless our Queen God bless us every one." Standing at this corner and looking westward the scene was a remarkable one, for Oxford-street proper, as licht almost as dav. contained many hundreds of flags and other decorations stretched across its broad road way, overhanging masses of struggling Human creatures. Turning into Pall-mall, the first illumination wnicn arrested attention was that on the western wall and gateway of Marlborough House. Here, God save the Queen" was displayed in large letters on the top of the wall, while above the front gateway V.R." and the crown were outlined by means of fairy lamps. The AthnsBum was adorned with six classic braziers with flambeaux in balconies, a stringing of gas jets along north, Bouth, and east fronts, and Victoria Regina in double line letters over the portico.

The United Service Club had a large device representing the rose, shamrock, and thistle, with the motto United Services over the portico, and 18 large braziers on the west and north sides. Messrs. Faraday and Son designed and executed these devices. There was but a meagre display of Jubilee illuminations at the War Office, but the Carlton, the Armv and Navy, the Junior Carlton, the Reform Club, the Travellers, the National Conservative Club, and the Oxford and Cambridge Union Club all displayed illuminations worthy of their reputation and of the occasion. The Langham Hotel was illuminated with a colossal V.R," and from this point many persons viewed the different mansions in Portland-place, which presented a pleasing sight with their many devices of gas jets and fairy lamps.

Soon after 8 o'clock had struck the illumination of Charing-cross and the principal thoroughfares in its neighbourhood began. The most striking feature of Charing-cross itself was the Grand Hotel, the whole front of which, from the Strand to Northumberland-avenue, was rendered brilliant with parallel lines of fairy lights arranged along the balconies of the windows of each story, while on both facades of the building a huge V.R." was designed in small electric lamps. In Northumberland-avenue the H6tel Metropole the Constitutional Club, and the National Liberal Club were conspicuous. In Whitehall the unrelieved gloom of many of the buildings was noticeable, all the Government offices being innocent of any attempt at illumination. Lord George Hamilton's residence adjoining the Admiralty, however, bore over the entrance the customary design of crown.

V.R," and floral supports and several private houses at the Charing-cross end of the thoroughfare were very prettily decorated. In Whitehall, however, the most brilliant display appeared outside Richmond-terrace and at the Duke of Buccleuch's residence. In Cockspur-street the Union Club was distinguished by a large crystal shield with the Royal Arms in stained glass, encircled by a wreath of laurel leaves and flanked on either side with the letters "V.R" Waterloo-place waB a splendid sight The United Service and the Athenaeum clubs both displayed a number of great gas torches. The balconies of the windows of the Charing-cross Hotel were decorated with flags and crimson drapery, while more flags fluttered from the roof. At the approaches to the station were powerful electric lamps, and over the centre gateway was a large shield with the Royal Arms in colour.

Coutts's Bank, the Lyceum Theatre, and the offices of the Graphic and the Illustrated London News were the most effectively decorated buildings in the Strand. The City Bank, the Consolidated Bank, the National Bank of India, the Capital and Counties Bank, the Baltic, and the Oriental Bank, were all effectively illuminated. The most effective display in Leadenhall-street was that of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company the letters "V.R." with crystal device in the centre, containing the motto God protect our Queen," a ship on either side, each vessel surmounted with the dates 1837 and 1887. In the City the most attractive point was that in which the Bank of England, the Mansion House, and the Royal Exchange are situated. For the illumination of these buildings and many others, both in the City and at the West End, Messrs.

Defries were responsible. The Bank of England presented a very magnificent and brilliant appearance, the whole building being outlined with variegated lamps in gas, principally ruby and white. The Royal Exchange was handsomely illuminated by thousands of oil lamps in various colours. The Mansion House, which completed the group of three buildings, was grandly illuminated. Each lamppost bore a Royal crown in shining crystals, the pillars were entwined with richly coloured gas illuminated lamps, and surmounted with garlands of lamps in green with ornaments of ruby, and in front of the columns was a crystal medallion, having the Royal Arms in the centre, with the motto round.

Long live our Queen." Below the pediment was the motto, God guard your Throne." the line of building above being outlined with rich amber-coloured gas lamps. When darkness set in on Tuesday night the vast crowds of spectators whothi onsed the principal streets of the West End from the close of the procession until early on Wednesday morning, had no occasion to feel disappointment at the tneagTe display or monotony of desien which characterised the illuminations. Every thing and everybody seemed to be in a thorough state of preparedness, and the brilliancy of the lighted streets, the wealth and variety of colour, the vast concourse of admiring sightseers, the good humour and orderly behaviour of the surging crowd made an appropriate complement to the magnificence of the earlier pageant. THE CASUALTIES OF THE DAY. Charing-cross Hospital it was reported that a man named George Bennett, of 3.

Little-terrace, Addison-road. Euston-house Estate, had been killed by a kick in the chest from a horse. A very serious case of fracture of the skull of a man unknown, by falling about 14 feet from a lamp post, was admitted also. Between 50 and 60 minor casualties, such as simple fractures, were treated Some of tho sufferers were detained in the hospital while in other cases, after the injuries had been dressed, the patients were ent home. A Westminster Hospital only three people were admitted, and and Foreign Ministers, and the various occupants of the southern transept and adjoining galleries.

By 11 o'clock the whole upper portion of the Abbey began to rival in colour and animation the densely-packed nave, notwithstanding that it was upon the latter that the splendour of the morning chiefly fell. As the sun advanced upon his western course, and withdrew his rays from the space beneath the lantern, the choir, the transepts, aud the sacrarium became wrapped in a comparative gloom, but a compensating radiance was supplied by the scarlet and ermine of the peers' robes, the gold embroidery of the Windsor uniforms, and the rich and many-hued costumes of the members of the Diplomatic Body and the Royal Household, together with the sheen of the reredos with its alabaster figures and the golden vessels of the communion table. The first official incident of the day was the arrival of the Corps of Beefeaters, without whose presence no Koyal pageant is complete. Lining the nave along which the various processions were to pass they added an agreeable element of novelty to the scene, their quaint Elizabethan hats, garlanded with the red and white roses of York and Lancaster, and their brick-red doublets and hose presenting a refreshing contrast to their modern and more brilliant surroundings. Following immediately and quite unobserved came a small party of the junior members of the Royal Family the Princess Feodore of Saxe-Meiningen, the Prince Albert and the Princess Louise of Schleswig-Holstein, the Princess Alix of Hesse, and the Princesses Marie, Victoria, and Alexandra of Edinburgh who took their places in the choir.

The same absence of ostentation marked the subsequent arrival and dispersion in the choir and sacrarium of the Princess Frederica, BaronesB von Pawel Rammingen. and the Baron von Pawel RammingeH, attended by the Hon. Evelyn Paget Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar and the Princess Edward of Saxe-Weimar, the Prince of Leiningen and her Grand Ducal Highness the Princess of Leiningen, the Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg and the Princess Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, with the Countesses Feodora and Victoria Gleichen and Count Edward Gleichen. It was not until the Indian chiefs and their suites put in an appearance that the somewhat flagging attention of the public began to be aroused and to mark the near approach of the grand and stately ceremonial of the day. The swarthy visages of these Orientals, with their dusky, aesthetic hues of maroon and saffron, and their flashing diamonds were not more impressive than their stately and solemn gait, which told of a familiarity with ceremonial of which not merely our own Princes but even those of the brilliant Courts of Europe are unable to boast.

So far neither organ or trumpet has emitted a note. The entrance of the persons named has taken place amid the most perfect silence, while others hardiy less notable in their way have glided in un-perceiyed, their appearance in the choir or the sacrariuui being the first indication of their rank or importance. This is so, for example, with the Princess Victoria of Teck and the Princes Adolphus, Francis, aud Alexander of Teck, the Hereditary Prince Frederick of Anhalt, Prince Ernest of Saxe-Meiningen. the Duke of Teck, and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Teck. The dusky Queen of Hawaii, too, who has made the journey from her distant ocean home for the express purpose of paying honour to her sister Queen, was recognised by few, despite her curious dress of heavy stuff, bespangled with gold, and her truly regal bearing.

Alas the Queen of Hawaii, having "had no previous relations of an official character with the Court of St. James's, has not been able to secure such precedence as would entitle her to musical recognition, and is among the earliest arrivals in the sacrarium, her immediate neighbours being his Highness Abu'n Nasr Mirza Hissam us Sultaneh of Persia, the Prince Devawongse Varopraker of Siam, and the Prince Komatsu of Japan. But at length the organ speaks, and to the measured beat of the stately Marche Pontificale," played by Dr. Bridge, the organist of the Abbey, enters a long procession of Her Majesty's Royal guests and their attendants, comprising the Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, G.C.B., the Prince Ludwig of Baden, the Prince Philip of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, G.C.B., the Princess Philip of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the Hereditary Giand Duke of Saxe-Weimar, the Prince Hermann of Saxe-Weimar, the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, G.C.B.. the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.

Prince Ludwig of Bavaria, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, K.G., the Infante Don Antonio of Spain, the Infanta Donna Eulalia of Spain, the Due d'Aosta, the Crown Prince of Sweden, the Crown Prince of Portugal, the Crown Princess of Portugal, the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, K.G., the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. the King of Saxony, K.G., the Queen of the Belgians, the King of the Belgians, K.G.. Prince George of Greece, the Crown Prince of Greece, the King of the Hellenes, K.G., and the King of Denmark, K.G. Their Imperial, Royal, Serene, and Grand Ducal Highnesses enter two by two and move up the nave in somewhat straggling order. Resplendently uniformed, their passage through the choir to the sacrarium.

seems to light up that portion of the Abbey which, deprived of the rays of the westering tiun arid tenanted for the most part by swarthy-Orientals, has assumed a sombre aspect. This procession, dispersing itself in the sacrarium, fills up the only remaining blank in the Bcene with the exception of the Royal dais itself, and adds a vivid natch of colour exactly where it is needed for the harmony of the picture. It is now getting late. The Royal guests have been tardy, and the hour for the opening of the service is past. The organ has ceased a long and impressive silence ensues.

The whole sissemblage is on the tiptoe of expectation, for the next and last procession is the Queen s. At lencth. half an hour after the time appointed tor the Queen's arrival, there is a stir outside the western doorway of the Abbey, where the rays of the En. th arlpt uDholstery into a ruddy glow. The Gentlemen-at-Arms, in their uniform of scarlet and gold with whtte-piumea casqut.

iu the. signal being given by the Lord mmo of Roval trumpeters, stationed in the organ loft, sound a stirring fanfare-rv-annrrmrintoU- since the Hebrew word Jubel. from which the name of this memorable anniversary is derived, signifies the sound of a trumpet the organ.
